Single App that filters user selections dynamically

Hi

I'm building a single app (chained app has problems on our gallery) which can have 2 filters based on user selections

 

But I want the 2nd filter values to populate based on first filters selections. Just like we used context filters in tableau

 

Example state and city are two filters available to users. While  list of states appeared straight away but only relevant city to be populated after user selects State... Something like that 

 

Is it possible?

 

Please suggest

 

Thanks a lot

@Dabng chained app is the only option to set the dependency with the first filter and second filter in Alteryx

Do you think a macro will be a better solution?

Can a macro achieve this goals

@DabngI am not aware of any macro that supports the dynamic dependency between two filters, so I would defer to @apathetichell

this sounds like a tree tool. because you have your limitation with chained apps -> you will need to have a static file with your tree tool mappings included with your workflow.
